Crewmembers aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Tampa's deployable response boat tow an intercepted "go-fast" vessel back to the ship. The Coast Guard Cutter Confidence seized 1,100 pounds of marijuana and detained six suspected smugglers from the go-fast vessel before transferring the vessel, the drugs, and the detainees to the Tampa. Go-fasts, so named for their ability to reach high speeds, are difficult to detect by radar and difficult to intercept using conventional craft.
